Summary
The Lufthansa Group, a major European airline, has extended its cancellation of night flights to Israel and is limiting flights to Tel Aviv. The airline is also avoiding flying through the airspace of Iran and Iraq.
These decisions are due to fears of a potential escalation of tensions between Iran and Israel, which the airline says is creating uncertainty and operational challenges.
